That would be nice (and a future possibility) but, ...

This is more or less correct.  CCEL is still churning out OSIS 1.1.1 and I 
don't think we're going to be interested in converting from anything 
pre-1.5 and anything that isn't best practices conformant.  It will be a 
while before CCEL publishes really good OSIS 1.5/best practice conformant 
stuff since all their work in generated from XSLTs.  Some of the books 
will probably work very well, but others less so.  There's really no 
substitution for crafting modules one at a time (at the moment).
